Ajamu X: Familiar Strangers

Artist Ajamu X has been working with Black and Minority Ethnic communities as well as members of the LGBTI community for over 20 years, exploring the ways that these marginalised communities operate outside the formal mechanisms of support. His new series of portraits, the result of a residency as part of GoMA’s sh[OUT] programme, depicts people from those communities, and looks at the politics around race, sexual orientation and exclusion in Scotland.

Part of GoMA's 'sh[OUT]: Contemporary art and human rights' programme, this exhibition is a new series of portraits by artist Ajamu X of people who identify as BME (Black and minority ethnic) as well as LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex).
